A new exceptionally small microphone with interchangeable capsules, which features a full-fledged class A amplifier from high-quality selected discrete elements using film capacitors.
Very low self noise (4 dBA to 7dBa, depending on the directional characteristic) coupled with high SPL handling (up to 152dB) and a very linear frequency response.
Its 22 mm capsule has a flat frequency response and a dynamic range of 135 dB. The MC 59’s excellent impulse response captures the subject’s finest details without colouration and its gold-sputtered, ultra-thin transducers pass and artificial ageing process to ensure life-long stability.
The MC59 preamp is available in the following versions:
- Version "S"
Super-small and super-light, with a deducted connector – 3-pin XLR-type on cable. - Version "S-E"
Super-small and super-light, with a deducted connector – 3-pin XLR-type on cable. Extended functionality: -10dB switch and a switchable low cut at 100Hz (6dB/Oct)Note – the length of the “S” or “S-E” output cable can be exactly customised to your exact needs (up to 200 meters). - Version "XLR"
Features an integrated 3-pin XLRM-type connector, directly on the mic-body. - Version "XLR-E"
Features an integrated 3-pin XLRM-type connector, directly on the mic-body. Extended functionality: -10dB switch and a switchable low cut at 100Hz (6dB/Oct)
To upgrade your MC59 modular system, single capsules are available – currently with four different directional characteristics – omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid and hypercardioid. More directional characteristics will follow!
